point pelee national park

Hubby and I go here to get exercise and relaxation. Biking is awesome, we usually bring a picnic and stop along the way at one of the beaches. Always feel refreshed when we leave.

Wonderful place to enjoy a hike. The main paths were nicely cleared and we enjoyed a hike to peak and a walk on the boardwalk. The ice build up at the peak is spectacular! Makes you feel like you are in northern Ontario. Visitor's centre is closed during the winter but they have left access to the washrooms which is nice.

Point pelee is about an hour's drive from the city of Windsor. I went with a few friends towards the end of the fall season. At this time of the year, there are lesser people and a little bit quieter. Walking down the beach till the tip of the mainland is a different experience all together! Its possible to camp although I would suggest you do that during the summer months! Get a set of binoculars and you are all set for a great bird watching experience! If you have the time, you must take the boat to pelee island.

We have never done bird watching before, but I must say it was a fun experience. We did spot some truly beautiful birds with awesome colours!

This is a beautiful area on Lake Erie. It's also the furthest land point in Canada. You can walk right to the point of land. There are also buildings old buildings which you can visit and see what it was like years ago. Our daughter, grandsons along with us spent hours looking around, walking the shoreline and admiring the scenery. This was a must for us since it is a landmark in Canada.

We visited the park in early September without seeing a lot of tourists. Love that the park is not over commercialized. It's a peaceful place for nature lovers. The Point Pelee is just breathtaking...Love every minute we spent there.

Maybe it was because of the time of year we were there...late September...but it was a lovely day, good weather, lots of migrating birds, a nice trail down to the southernmost point of Canada... really lots to see..but we had to turn back early because of these awful flies which had the ability to bite through jeans!

We have bought the season visitors pass for the last couple years and visit here often. A great place to ride your bike through the trails, rollerblade, take in the wildlife, swim, hike, canoe. The list is a mile long! Don't miss this place when in Leamington!

Back in the 50's I lived inside the park. I still live close by but it is a must see for for friends and relatives when visiting the area. From long walks on the boardwalk to view the "Big Lake Pond" or a walk along the many nature trails it is a wonderful experience. There is a shuttle service that runs from the nature centre to the tip of the point where you can stand on the most southern part of mainland Canada. Spring is a birders paradise and the fall migration of Monarch Butterflies in September is also something to see. We visit all seasons. Each has it's own unique experience.

This National Park is a must to see for all ages. The history alone involving the War of 1812 in the waters of Lake Erie surrounding the park is a interest all on its own. The Nature Center offers a wealth of information,activities,and education benefits for all. The walking trails,picnic areas ,large board walk and beaches are just some of the areas to explore. The migration of birds and monarch butterflies are major attractions for hundreds of people year after year. Point Pelee is most southern part of Canada.

Well cared for nature walks, bike trails & rest areas. Beautiful Boardwalk with a little concession stand if you get thirsty or need a snack. Awesome train ride, go explore the most Southern Tip of Canada! The Nature Center is a wonderful learning experience for young and old.The beaches are clean and welcoming. Bring the family pack a picnic lunch and spend the day. Lots to see and do, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful place to visit. The park is full of walking trails, good amenities, and magnificent views.

We decided to visit Point Pelee National Park because it was a "bucket list" item for us so to speak. It was located at the southern most tip/point of mainland Canada and the second smallest National Park. Only Pelee island is further south, but we didn't have time to ride the ferry. The drive from Toronto to Leamington (mostly on the 401) was boring with little to see but once we got to the park we had a good time.It was a very warm day over the Labour day weekend and the park had many different activities going on. There was hikes/nature walks. There were also biking trails. There was a shuttle from the visitor centre to the tip of Canada. There was a guided 10 person canoe which you have to sign up for and it filled up very quickly. The boardwalk area had a tower you can climb up to look at the surrounding area. We think the tower is for bird watching but we are not bird watching enthusiast.There is a beach for swimming and various picnic areas as well.We enjoyed our time there and it's worth a visit.

It's nice to visit it. Nothing extraordinary except that it's the Southern place in Canada. If you like to walk and smell the forest, it's recommended

We visited Point Pelee on Thanksgiving weekend and found that there were some nice trails to hike. Start with the short film at the visitors centre. (We had to ask for it.) It gives background on the development of the park and the geology. From the centre you can take a bus shuttle out to the point, which is the most southerly mainland point in Canada. That runs every 20 minutes.There weren't many activities to take part in. Many places in the area seem to close down at this time of the year. It would help to have the activities listed clearly on the web site.
